Catheter ablation of electrical storm: ready for prime time?

Electrical storm is an increasingly recognized clinical entity. It is generally defined as the occurrence of ≥ 3 episodes of potentially life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias during a time span of 24 h. Apart from pharmacological treatment options, catheter ablation remains a relatively novel, pr...

Zusammenfassung:	Electrical storm is an increasingly recognized clinical entity. It is generally defined as the occurrence of ≥ 3 episodes of potentially life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias during a time span of 24 h. Apart from pharmacological treatment options, catheter ablation remains a relatively novel, promising addition to the armamentarium of the cardiologist. Here, we will review the study data on ablation of patients with electrical storm.
